18 people at the BMW plant in Munich involved in stealing parts totaling up to $4 million

According to thelocal, a German news source, a crime ring operating in the Munich BMW plant has been caught. 18 workers systematically would steal parts from the plant and put them up for sale on online auctions. At least 3 of the now ex-employees are in custody and are likely going to pay a heavy price. It is said that car seats is where the big bucks were at, stealing them and storing them at a warehouse to later sell online. We figured it would be high pressure fuel pumps?

What I speciffically dislike about BMW performance parts is that you can only get those as aftermarket items.
You cannoy order your car with these seats for instance.
You will need to buy them after the car is in your possession. So besides paying a sh*tload of money for these seats, you're left with 2 perfectly good seats which you cannot get rid off.

But it happened.
After the car was delivered I went to a upholster (which adress was provided by the dealer) who modified the foam in the driversseat so that the seat hugs me a bit better and keeps me in place.
Costed 250 Euro, but was worth it.
